According to the description of the measures, a basic introduction to different professions and occupational fields is offered.
  • The occupational field exploration module comprises five days, including a preparation day and a follow-up day. The students assign themselves to a professional field such as B.

"Metal", "Plastics", "Electronics", "Energy", "Gardening and Landscaping", "Warehouse / Trade", "Health and Care", "Business and Administration" and "Construction" and "MINT" are offered .
  • In the talent workshop, job-related interests and skills are concretized and suitable professions are found. In a subsequent three-day practical phase in a regional training company , the young people can check whether they are up to the demands of this training occupation.
  • With the action-oriented training for the realization of training wishes, the implementation of the previously worked out professional goals is promoted and the students are prepared for the application process. The contents are trained with the involvement of operational experts.
  • In a reflection of the study and training opportunities after the upper secondary level, a one-day competence assessment with self-assessment and external assessment, one-day information about studies, training and bridging opportunities as well as one-day application training is carried out for upper school students.
